john tiong chunghoo - Haiku: The Wedding

chinese wedding br two red candles burn br through the night br br inspired by br br The Wedding br br O marriage-bells, your clamor tells br Two weddings in one breath. br SHE marries whom her love compels: br - And I wed Goodman Death! br My brain is blank, my tears are red; br Listen, O God: - 'I will, ' he said: - br And I would that I were dead. br Come groomsman Grief and bridesmaid Pain br Come and stand with a ghastly twain. br My Bridegroom Death is come o'er the meres br To wed a bride with bloody tears.
